Sentinel Peak, Mountain summit in Tucson, United States.
Sentinel Peak rises 884 meters above sea level, forming a volcanic rock formation in the Tucson Mountains west of the Santa Cruz River.
The Spanish military established a sentinel post on the peak in 1775 to monitor approaching Apache warriors near the San Agustín del Tucson Presidio.
Students and faculty from the University of Arizona constructed a large letter A on the mountain slope in 1914 to celebrate a football victory.
The mountain includes designated hiking trails leading to observation points that provide views across Tucson and the surrounding mountain ranges.
The geological structure contains multiple layers of volcanic rock that originally extended throughout the current Tucson Basin area.
